Not to re-rail from the derailment, but I really hate it when artists say 'oh it's fast and loose' but it's like this AMAZING creation!! Sheesh! :P
One day I too will be able to draw fast and loose and have it end up being something remarkable... right now it's just...um... slow and..um... tight... and still sucky. :P
Okay okay *pushes the thread off the tracks again*

Apologies Rowr, but I never was the type to draw clean crisp lines. To me sketching is like chiseling away at the blank page, line upon line, erase, more lines, until I'm close to happy, but in truth never satisfied which is good, because then you strive to get better.
I "can" do crisp and clean, but omg it takes forever and it's agonizing. Which is why I love photoshop, sigh... erasing with no crumbs all over your table, or lead on your hands. Though lately with all the great art here, I've been yearning to pick up my bristol pad and mechanical pencil.
As to the fast and loose comments, it could be worse, I could be the opposite... wait, scratch that... too easy!
edit: duh TA beat me to it... lol
Why hasn't anyone said anything about my story?

Hrmmm... That's strange cause it's the total opposite for me.
Even tho I grew up in the computer age and can navigate most OS' and Apps. I've never been able to "work" on the computer. I don't know, Its not that I don't grasp the ideas and principals of PS and the like... it's just I can't function without the physical mediums. The shavings are a bit of a bother, but findin the line is half the fun for me.

Fantastic LadyJudgement!

Hmm, lemme see if I can get this to work.
Edit: arg! Okay, that wasn't it! How about this
Lazzarras, here's just a quick pencil sketch ('bout 15 minutes worth) http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...uickpencil.jpg
Offered for an "Art Trade" with you, if you will draw for me, my character "Shatrice" http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/Shatrice.jpg
And hey, though this is my first post on these boards, I've been watching, and there's lots of cool people, both artists and non. Be nice, and they'll be nice back.

ok people this is what I did so far. I am having the hardest time drawing the thing across his chest but I will have by tomorrow sometime First try So what do you think.

Looks like a trace to me. The way the right side of his chest looks it looks like you traced someone who had drawn a prominent pectoral muscle, but didn't understand exactly what they were doing with it, so it ends up looking like a female breast.
But, hey, if you want art of Lazzarus so badly, that's a lot better way to go about it than begging every day.
[/ QUOTE ] Stating the obvious and not giving a solution is pointless and a waste of your time and mine.
[/ QUOTE ]
The solution is not to trace.

Well, come on...it IS fast and loose.
Of course, that's one of its virtues, not faults.
[ QUOTE ]
As I been looking at a lot your post I notice that some of you have multiple artwork. Is there a place where I can get artwork done. I don't if you are the worst artist. I just want to be one of those people. As it stands I do have one amazing drawing by celtic bolt but I want to be like thor's assassin. I will makw website and post them all. I have many toons but I am in love with only one Lazzarus
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm going to give it a try sometimes soon.
Prolly not a full figure because I'm not really good, but something like a close up or a convention sketch.

[/ QUOTE ] The fact that I drew something freehand and it look so much like I traced it is something I will take as a compliment. But what work of yours look like this. I haven't any of your work nor do you have a link. So give a link of the artworl of yours or of whatever it is that you think I traced. But as you do notice right now I am still working out issues with proportion. Maybe that what you mean? But when I said "stating the obvious" I was talking about my drawing "man-boob" not that I traced. I haven't trace an image in 20 years and I would not start with artwork of a person who on the same forum that just dumb. But thanks for you critism if that what it was. You make me want to get back to my prime. Right I am only drawing at my 10 old level. But wait there will be more.

Ze link!!! Ask and you shall recieve! Link to PMD's DA account!
Also a work in progress (and I finally have a reason to show the WIP )
TA - WIP by PMD
I re-read The PMD post and I see what you mean. But no I didn't trace and you made me think of all the kids I was in school with that said the same thing when I brought artwork to school. It's cool to have your opinion and I admire you for stepping and saying what was on your mind. To think what you thought and say nothing would have been a great injustice and and insult to me as a recovering artist. We are all adult here and you could have asked I have nothing to hide. Thank you again for your critisim and for added more fuel to my fire to improve my artwork.
Sorry, just creeping about forums. and decided to draw a chibi of your toon. nothing like what you asked for.. but then again i didn't really read through everyones reply.
Chibi!!

Thank you very much. He has been added to my collection (see linkie below) and credit has been given. I think you did a fine job of capturing his... wild side. Quite brutal looking.

Maybe I should get up to date with Lazzarus.He was born Larrenz Reed in the slums on Faultline. He later moved to Galaxy City and fell in love with a Kara Zang. They married live happily until their lives where shattered when Kara was killed on her way to work by a member of the Tsoo. Larrenz was furious and disgusted by the failed attempted of the paragon police department and the heroes to find his wife's killer. So he took matters in the is on he went undercover as a recuit for the Tsoo. After a few months he found her killer and attempted to avenge her death. He was not strong enough. A former Tsoo sorcerer named Xang saw the incident and took Larrenz corpse to his study. He used ashes for the tomb of Lazarus to resurrect him. The ordeal left Larrenz memory fagmented. Xang taught Larrenz the way of the Tsoo and help him take out the leader of the Tsoo. Larrenz was betrayed by Xang who only wanted control of the Tsoo not only that be it was him that order for the assassination of Kara. After being beating and left for dead Larrenz strenght returned. Not only that but his powers double. He realize the through death he gain strength. So he took to the street of paragon, since Larrenz Reed was officially dead he took on the name Lazzarus.So he fight the strongest of force and realizes that is not just his death that brings hime strength but also the death of those he slain with his blade. After years of dying and killing he was finally ready for his face of with Xang. He slice though the Tsoo warrior effortlessly and as he was about to reach Xang throne room a ghost his past appeared. "Kara, no it can't be!"

Ok just to help you I reformatted you story with paragraphs and did slight changes to make it legible.

Maybe I should get up to date with Lazzarus.
He was born Larrenz Reed in the slums on Faultline.
He later moved to Galaxy City and fell in love with a Kara Zang. They married and live happily until their lives where shattered when Kara was killed on her way to work, by a member of the Tsoo.
Larrenz was furious and disgusted by the failed attempts of the paragon police department and the heroes to find his wife's killer, so he took matters in his own hands and went undercover as a recuit for the Tsoo.
After a few months he found her killer and attempted to avenge her death. He was not strong enough. A former Tsoo sorcerer named Xang saw the incident and took Larrenz corpse to his study. He used ashes from the tomb of Lazarus to resurrect him. The ordeal left Larrenz memory fagmented. Xang taught Larrenz the way of the Tsoo and helped him take out the leader of the Tsoo.
Larrenz was betrayed by Xang who only wanted control of the Tsoo. Not only that, but it was him that had ordered the assassination of Kara. After being beating and left for dead, Larrenz strenght returned. Not only that but his powers double. He realized the through death he gains strength.
So he took to the street of paragon, and since Larrenz Reed was officially dead he took on the name Lazzarus. So he fought the strongest of force and realized that is not just his death that brings him strength but also the death of those he slays with his blade. After years of dying and killing he was finally ready for his face-off with Xang. He sliced though the Tsoo warrior effortlessly and as he was about to reach Xang throne room a ghost his past appeared. "Kara, no it can't be!"

I dont think I changed anything important but it should be easier to read.
As for comments on the story itself :It is a classic story of revenge.
I would have liked a bit more on his teen years. You mention that he was born in the slums of faultline: did he get involved with crime ? was he a gang member?
Kara is killed by the Tsoo: Was she involved with them? Or perhaps she was a prosecutor against them? Or Maybe Larrenz had no clue why?
All those are interesting questions that could be explored .
